The Vibe:The world's headquarters of bespoke tailoring.
Running parallel to Regent Street in Mayfair, Savile Row has been home to Britain's finest bespoke tailors since the 19th century. Ancient tailoring firms — some dating to the 1700s — craft suits for royalty, diplomats, film stars and financiers. The Beatles shot the Let It Be rooftop concert from number 3 in 1969.
Tailor shops with muted green and navy signage announce centuries of craft; floor-to-ceiling racks of bolted fabric fill windows. The hush of fitting rooms carries out onto the street; the smell of fresh Harris tweed is unmistakable.
